Prometheus Reborn East. Venus. Phosphoros. The virgin gift to humankind. The dew ov dawn - The light bringer. Ishtar. Astarte The shining one carries the torch. Theft ov Fire - Prometheus reborn. Force and Fire, The deep Blue light, The planetary nature ov the Adversary, Be like the Most High, Transgress the heavens, And shape humanity from clay. And like my founders before me, I shall defy the laws, With the lone genius of a craving god. To pour into darkness some light, Through the hidden slithe of men, With the fiercing flame of Judas.

Doppelganger 03:55
Doppelganger Meet my doppelganger. Expression ov my soul, The mirror, the ghoul. the eclipse ov myself. An immortal shadow that never sleeps... and never ages... It follows my steps into the night, Its deadly silence shivers me to the bones, He is the devil in a mask, A floating reminescence. My twin, my nightmare. Beneath visions lie, Roaming inside the mind, The dark fate ov the smite. I reckon my death on the other side. To reach the end like in a prophecy, In the fear ov myself, Drunk. Wasted. My murder and suicide. In me didst thou exist—and in my death, see ... how utterly thou hast murdered thyself. (Edgar Allan Poe - William Wilson - 1839)

Fantôme de l'âme J'habite le néant d'où la lumière fuit, Au delà des simples rêves et du bruit. Sous les décombres d'une Terre esseulée Par les caprices de l'homme entêté. Un rêveur voyageur qui noie ses douleurs, Le dos courbé aux allures feotales. Ma torpeur. Je souhaite dans l'harmonie mourir de mes vastes illusions. M'enchainer d'émotions, oubliez toutes raisons. Puis s'estompent les visions, La chair domine et reprend possession. La lumière dissipent mes ombres, Mais je vois sous son éclat La perversion des êtres en abominations. Ils se piétinent et renient leurs propres frères, Mais où sont mes mélancolies ternies par leur lumière? Je vis comme les morts qui parcourent les tombes, Hagard, comme un fantôme dans la pénombre. Hantées par les brumes qui se sont envolées, Mes pensées chavirent entres les mondes. Aux temps nocturnes et ses esprits libres, pour se blanchir de leurs impuretés, Et pour qui l'immondice rayonne, Gloire aux ténèbres.

My Frankenstein My guilt, my Dark Side, My own Frankenstein from the tombs. Enshadowed in the 666, This is my ghost in codes. Cyborg ov the new century, The spark ov Singularity. "the apple was already easten, and the angel's arm bared to drive me from all hope. like an archangel, who aspired to omnipotence, I am chained in eternal hell." both fallen Adam and Angel, man and Satan. "Look, look, streams of blood on every doorstep! Streams of blood from every house!" Hideous but full ov light, My unfinished work - Winged and horned, From darkness to promote you But the creature left uncared for is transformed into a monster, rebellious because desperate. My guilt, my Dark Side, My own Frankenstein from the tombs.

The Second Genesis Though I watch the world dying, a part of me is still fighting, I see the evil that sneaks throughout the nights. through Adonai. There's no turning back, for those who sleeps, for those who kneels. To obey or to resist, they sketch the sheeps In deep hypnosis. The denial ov God, and all that's blessed and pure, The stage is set, for the lost and lies, for the Antichrist. Then it shall rise, a land for submissive people, and we shall lose our souls, gone into oblivion, gone into nothingness. Jealous and against all, the beast too proud mimics the light, but its fur stinks carrion, O morning star, Son ov Dawn. The second genesis is born. erase all morality, To Corrupt the Divine Order, and shape a generation of sick minds. Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)

The Four Horsemen Ov Wormwood As the throne in Heaven is rumbling, Worthy is the lamb, who was slain. Living creatures covered with eyes, Watchers keeping the seven seals. Come! In a voice like thunder, The white horse bent on conquest. Come! In a voice like thunder, The fiery red carry on great war. When the star falls to the earth, And the moon spilling its blood, Like sackcloth made ov goat hair, Turn the sun into black. Come! In a voice like thunder, The rider holds the scales ov bones. Come! In a voice like thunder, Hades follow the black and last horsemen. Idol worshippers, behold the scene, As the chosen rapes the seals. The covenant shall be in your flesh, In the glory ov their pride. The last seal is open, Silence above. Sounds ov trumpets binded in echoe, Seven angels committed to crime. Woe, woe, Woe! To the living, Watch for the star, ablazed Wormwood. Listen! With the sound like rubbing ore, Hail and fire mixed with gore. Listen! with the sound like rubbing ore, All perish from the bitter water. When the star falls to the earth, And the moon spilling its blood, Like sackcloth made ov goat hair, Turn the sun into black.

Cast In Hell 05:30
Cast In Hell Many men died ov the waters, Unseen and ravenous Wormwood Causes them to drink to death. And the fourth angel sounded, Perverting light ov celestial bodies... And toward me, the long dead Ancestors, Leaving Sheol to claim Heaven as their home... Pierce the night with enlighten schemes, To reach the door i've never seen. Smite the Sun, Darken the third ov Stars and Moon, Make the day shone none for a third part ov it, and the night likewise. And the fifth angel sounded, As the rise ov Appolyon quakes the Earth. Locusts comes out ov the bottomless pit, With the power ov scorpions ov the Earth. Death flee from those who shall seek it, Tormenting men with Satan' seal. Treators blaspheme with incest, Surging out ov their churches, The garden once corrupted fell, Seed ov Demiurges, cast in Hell. Pierce the night with enlighten schemes, To reach the door i've never seen. Engage battle in the absence ov God, In darkly passion ov human trans-formation. And toward me, the long dead Ancestors, Leaving Sheol to claim Heaven as their home...

The Dark Ages The weakened mind ov the dead, blackened with sorrows, Cast to the shore Ov forlorn tomorrows, Virulent and empty. and the putrid breath ov rabid dogs, the pack that bites, Under the orders ov their kings, A hunt for control To fool the meaning ov life, Upside down, the sacred, raped by the conquering beast, Total blackness ov the soul, Drifting in pain, in pain... That joy from the past, I feels like it fades away... Sinners , from pole to pole, and beyond nations, Striving in cold, Fighting for gold, Be wise, my friend, As Nephilims arise, Kissed by the old serpent tongue, they speak with ancient prose ov the great Rebellion, Raging war in the open sea, Since are they born with the stars, Archons ov the Dark Ages.
9.
Paradise Lost Hybris consumes me, Nemesis, scourge of mortal men Retracts my arrogance. Like in Babel's tower, In confusion my soul. Retreat and feel the pain. My Downfall, In its fautive blindness, To left me in the dark, Judged in true blood. Pyromaniac, Driven to Olympic crime, I am anti-god, In my paradise's lost. Pandemonium, Siege the throne. Better to reign in hell, Than serve in heaven. But the void remains, And what I seek is forever lost. Punishment is strong For those like me, Drifted in pride and ignorance.

about

This album has been remixed/remastered on May 2023.
Ninth album.
Year of release is 2020.

.: | Portrayal | :.

There's a lot of biblical inspiration throughout this album, the concept is rather ''unblack'', but not christian -
it's the theological approach of my own spiritual research on Lucifer, and to expose the darkness out of it.

The apple to rot for 1 year. Symbolising the first sin and a second genesis for Satan, a rotten apple materializing through the modern history, a virus in a computer code.

All songs were recorded in my studio between the year 2018 and 2020 and vocals has been recorded during the summer 2020.

Special mention to Pierre-Luc Pelletier and Marie-Hélène Dionne for their amazing voices recording on chorus part for track 5 and 9.

.: | What I Used | :.

I used a 7 strings Hellraiser Schecter guitar (doubled tracking) and a 5 strings Ibanez bass guitar to record all of the instruments, routed through a standard Focusrite. Also having Pierre-Luc Pelletier to record bass lines for the track 6, 7 and 8.

Synth parts are recorded using an old Roland D-50 of the 90's era.
Also, I used a Shure Sm7B to record all the vocals.

The drum comes from 2 sources : Recorded with a Yamaha DTX electronic drum and many parts are programmed
or simple grooves I tweaked further on.

.: | Mixing Stage | :.

The mixing stage was a long road and went along the recording process.
All tracks / buss are processed through SSL channels and SSL Bus Compressor.
This was one of my goal to create a sound around these marvel of a plugins.
Next important mixing plugin I used was the CLA-76 compressor for some of the drums and vocals tracks.

A special mention goes for Fortin Cali Suite plugin and impulse responses, which are used to create the guitars sound in this album.

This is the first album I recorded using a 7 strings guitar (Schecter Hellraiser C7). It felt amazing!
